Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1860, Vol. 17
IN the vicinity of an important Colonial city, such as the Roman lindum, the antiquary might be prepared to expect frequent discoveries of memorials of a. Sepulchral character. In a locality, however, which has undergone so many changes, and has been occupied during so long a period by a large and active population, we might have sought in vain for any remarkable evidences of the funeral usages of a remote age. The occasional notices of sepulchral antiquities, found in and around Lincoln, as recorded by the antiquaries of the last century, and the careful Observations of more recent times, have placed before us a considerable amount of information respecting the various modes of interment practised by the Roman colonists, and also Of the character of their sepulchral memorials.
